Argonne National Laboratory - Virtual
We are pleased to announce the virtual annual CCP4/APS crystallographic school “From data collection to structure refinement and beyond” will be held on June 13-24, 2022 at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), near Chicago, Illinois, USA. All details can be found at the school website: http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2022/index.php.
Dates: June 6 (Bioinformatics & setup) and June 13 through 24, 2022 (with a weekend break on June 18 and 19th)
Location: Virtual/Remote
The school comprises two parts: remote data collection workshop and virtual crystallographic computing workshop. Data collection workshop includes beamline training, data collection on GM/CA at APS beamlines 23ID-D and 23ID-B equipped with Pilatus3 6M and Eiger 16M detectors respectively, and data processing. For data collection, only the participants’ crystals will be used. Crystallographic computation workshop will feature many modern crystallographic software packages taught by authors and other experts. The daily schedule will be organized in three sections – lectures, tutorials, and hands-on (interactive troubleshooting of the technical difficulties the participants face in their projects). We have had considerable success resolving these problems in past years, attested by resulting publications (see http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-school/publications.php). A draft of the program, contact info and other details can be found at the School website. Note that for the virtual school, an additional day (June 6th, 2022) was scheduled to prepare for the main event, with lectures on generating AlphaFold models to use in later part of the school.
Applicants: Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early-career faculty, along with commercial/industrial researchers are encouraged to apply. Only about 20 applicants will be selected for participation. Participants of the workshop are strongly encouraged to bring their own problem data sets or crystals so the problems can be addressed during data collection and/or computation workshops.
Application: Application deadline is April 15th, 2022. To apply, visit https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2022/application.php.
Fees: There is no fee for attending the virtual school for the chosen applicants.

Grenoble, France
The course will take place in Grenoble (France) from 20th-24th June 2022, and will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of SAXS/SANS on biomacromolecular solutions.
Currently, we are planning to carry out the course as an in-person event and encourage candidates to apply by the deadline of March 20th.
The final decision on the organization of the course as an in-person event will be communicated to all registered candidates by the end of March 2022.
It will depend on the evolution of the state of the COVID pandemic and its impact on travel conditions and in-person meetings.
Inscription fees are moderate for PhD students and postdocs (200 euros) and cover both accommodation and meals.
A limited number of travel grants is also available.

Marseille, France
High throughput methods are powerful tools for addressing protein expression, purification and crystallization challenges, veritable bottlenecks for structural and biochemical studies. We will give an accurate view of state-of-the-art methods for HT protein production, purification and sample quality assessment. The goal is to provide the students with a broad view on the latest HT available techniques, how to implement the protocols inhouse and how to access HT equipment through available platforms in the EU for protein production and crystallization. The students will learn HT experiment design, equipment use, and data analysis for reaching their goals with their target proteins.

Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, USA
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2022 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for Diffraction Methods in Structural Biology.
We will be creating an exciting program on the theme of “Data-Rich Experiments in Serial Crystallography, Time-Resolved Studies and MicroED\" and encourage any young scientists involved in diffraction methods to submit an abstract! The conference will be held on the 23rd - 24th July 2022 the day before the associated GRC at Bates College, Lewiston, ME, US.
The application deadline is 25th June 2022; however, if you would like to be considered for an oral presentation, you need to submit your application by the 23rd April 2022.

Music Conservatory and Congress Centre in Versailles, France
On behalf of the European Crystallographic Association (ECA) and of the French Association of Crystallography (AFC), it is our pleasure to welcome you to the home page of the 33rd European Crystallographic Meeting web site. The meeting will be held at the Music Conservatory and recently refurbished Congress Centre in Versailles, close to Paris, between 23rd and 27th of August 2022. Both venues overlook the famous Versailles Chateau.
Although many international scientific conferences have been impacted by the current Covid-19 pandemic, we remain optimistic that in 2022, a full and exciting program can be delivered in Versailles. Nevertheless, we are currently working on contingency plans for hybrid or remote format meetings, which can maintain the spirit of interaction of the ECMs, and we will shortly announce an alternative range of sponsorship packages. Despite the pandemic, crystallography has not stood still, and we will be sharing with you, over the coming weeks, highlights that will serve to whet your appetite for Versailles 2022.
We hope that ECM33 will prove to be a fruitful meeting, and we are looking forward to seeing you in Versailles.

Murnau am Staffelsee
The Murnau Conference on Structural Biology encompasses the current areas of experimental structural biology, in particular Electron Microscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and X-ray Crystallography. We focus on molecular questions, the properties of biological macromolecules and their interaction in the complex environment of a living organism. The biannual study group meeting in Murnau is set to provide a forum to discuss the latest advances in the field.
